Description
The Fender Vintera III Early '60s Bass VI Rosewood in Olympic White delivers classic Bass VI tone in a clean, timeless finish. Olympic White paired with a tortoiseshell guard keeps it rooted in early '60s Fender styling. If you want extended low range with the feel of a guitar and the depth of a bass, this model opens up a lot of creative ground.
The alder body keeps the response balanced and punchy, matched with a maple neck carved into an Early '60s C profile that feels comfortable in the hand. The 7.25 inch radius round-laminated rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage tall frets maintains the traditional Fender feel. Three Vintage-Style Early '60s Bass VI single-coil pickups deliver deep, articulate lows and clear highs that respond well to both clean and driven tones. Individual pickup on and off switches and a low cut switch give you detailed control over your sound. The floating tremolo tailpiece and Bass VI mute stay true to the original design.
Vintage-style tuning machines, bone nut, and nickel chrome hardware complete the period-correct build. The 30 inch scale length keeps the tension tight and focused while remaining comfortable. We like this one because it stays faithful to the early '60s spec while offering a finish that always works on stage or in the studio.
